For many of the nearly 50,000 9/11 first responders, the wounds of the Twin Tower attacks are far from healing. According to two studies published Thursday in the British journal Lancet, these rescue workers continue to struggle with respiratory illness, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and many of them may be at increased risk for developing a number of cancers. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/911-responders-plagued-cancer-asthma-ptsd/...

    • The government cut benefits for our vets. Good job now go home your on your own. So why should government care about first responders.
      Tell all in Washington that our Vets and First Responders of 9-11 need all our help no mater what the cost.
